Hi, my name is jeff and I am a 38 yr old Vietnam War historian. I am contacting
you in reguards of a UH-1E that now resides in NY. Her S/N is 154957. Doing a
internet search, let me know that she was one of the last ones in storage at DM. I
have mostly dealt with Army Helicopters and have a few contacts with the VHPA. So I am
trying here first as she is a Marine Corps helicopter. I was wondering if there is a
list of aircraft that served in country.
Thanks Again
Jeff
